Preparation

Roast pears 15 minutes. Add water and roast until pears are tender but still hold their shape, 8 to 10 minutes more.

Arrange pears, cut sides up, on a platter and spoon pan juices over them. Sprinkle with half of cookie crumbs, then baste with pan juices. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs and serve warm or at room temperature.

I agree that the
ripeness and quality
of the pears cannot
be overlooked. I
have made this
several times to
rave reviews, and
always use the best
pears I can find,
allowing them to
ripen a few days
beforehand. Rather
than crumbled
cookies, I serve
them with a scoop of
vanilla ice cream, a
sprinkle of sliced
almonds, and a
drizzle of
additional amaretto.
Fabulous!

In response to the cooks who found their resulting dishes bland, it is worth pointing out that the taste and quality of the fruit that you began with is of utmost importance. If the pears started out flavorless and not sweet enough (as is sometimes the case) your results would be less-than-perfect. Using fruit that is perfectly ripe, not to mention in season, is essential.
